M HKA gaat digitaal

Met M HKA Ensembles zetten we onze eerste échte stappen in het digitale landschap. Ons doel is met behulp van nieuwe media de kunstwerken nog beter te kaderen dan we tot nu toe hebben kunnen doen.

We geven momenteel prioriteit aan smartphones en tablets, m.a.w. de in-museum-ervaring. Maar we zijn evenzeer hard aan het werk aan een veelzijdige desktop-versie. Tot het zover is vind je hier deze tussenversie.

M HKA goes digital

Embracing the possibilities of new media, M HKA is making a particular effort to share its knowledge and give art the framework it deserves.

We are currently focusing on the experience in the museum with this application for smartphones and tablets. In the future this will also lead to a versatile desktop version, which is now still in its construction phase.

Stranger in Paradise , 2006

Print, 96 x 696 cm.

Stranger in Paradise is one of a number of photographic installations Alptekin produced taking the shape of a cloud. The artist assembled the work using hundreds of photos depicting the façades of buildings in Turkey being renovated as well as trucks on the highway taken in Leipzig. The colours and form of the work are in the first instance visually seductive, yet it depicts the manifestations of rapid economic development and modernisation in different societies, and the banality of life for the people caught in the midst of it all.
